Globally, 2 billion hectares of land is degraded, according to Land Life Company co-founder and CEO Jurriaan Ruys — that's an area the size of the United States and China combined. "This is a result of fires, or intense deforestation and abandoned agricultural land," he says. Ruys wants to help restore these 2 billion hectares by establishing sustainable forests that, alongside helping to reverse the effects of climate change, provide a livelihood for local people. How? With a pod that cocoons young trees and helps them grow.
